Why many entrepreneurs are privately suffering, and what to do about it

[tincho1492]

Being in the middle of one of my most challenging months, I've felt very identified by this article, specially after some personal episodes that happened a few days ago.

What do you think?

"Hypomania can give entrepreneurs significant advantages. It includes elevated mood, expansive creativity, and an increased ability to tolerate risk. Soft bipolar entrepreneurs can be visionary, highly self confident, persuasive, energized, and boundlessly enthusiastic about the companies they are building."

"In general, though, many believe that running startups can drive people to experience intense ups and downs. While this is true, it’s often the other way around: People in the bipolar spectrum are attracted to entrepreneurship. Building businesses can be a great way for hypomanic entrepreneurs to apply their energy and creativity."
